You can choose to open a new window or to not do anything or it can prompt you to open an existing document. If it is going to be "fixed", perhaps it is best to add a preference to this effect.

By default TeXShop DOES open a new blank document when you open TeXShop. There is a preference option to disable it; which is what I use.
